The article is just wrong. And only mentions energy used for heating in passing. Heating requires MASSIVE amounts of energy.

I should know bc I have a whole house battery and solar system (almost 30 kWh battery and 24kW solar). It keeps the lights on, but not heating. I live in a mild climate.

The reality is that battery/solar requires major quality of life and activity time shifting trade-offs.
